Time to stop pandering to NRA's paranoia

Has the whole country gone crazy? All I see on TV are various survival shows or people sinking their entire life savings into a metal container that's to be buried 40 feet below the ground so they can survive doomsday.

And yet we've already lived through Y2K, Harold Camping's end-of-the-world claims and Dec. 21, 2012. All came and went without incident. We've survived superstorm Sandy and learned that there was no looting or raping or rioting. In fact, we cooperated with each other.

We should feel more relaxed, and yet a small fraction of people seem to be crazier than ever. Who's to blame for this? Look to the National Rifle Association.

The NRA panders to the dark fantasies of sick, deranged, paranoid people who think the only thing they can do is hide in their basements, clutching their military-style assault weapons with multibullet magazines so the "bad guys" or the government don't come and get them.

Want to know who is breeding the next generation of Jared Loughners and Adam Lanzas? It's the NRA. The mental health checks should begin with their membership.

It's time to stop pandering to this lobbyist organization, whose sole purpose is to sell guns to anyone for any reason. I will fight the NRA with words, with phone calls, with the ceaseless demand for new legislation.
